seen them covered with grain and iocks of
sheep. Some time in the seventeenth CEN
fury the Laguno, or valley Indians, made
war upon the Acomas for the possession of
the country, and the latter being the
weaker occupied this butte as a defensive
position believed to be impregnable.
Their Judgment has been abundantly indi-
Gated. 1t has proved a Gibraltar of
strength and safety. The comparison is
not inappropriate, and in approaching it
from the north l was struck with the re-
semblance to the pictures l have seen of
the grim fortress that frowns over the
strait Of the Mediterranean.
The hight above the valley is nearly
400 feet and the walls in several places
nearly perpendicular. There are two
means of ascent, one by flight of steps
cut in the face of the wall and rising at
an angle Of forty-fve degrees. and the
other by fissure in the rocks leading up
into the heart of the mountain. Both
ways have been trodden by human feet
until the steps are followed out like shall
low troughs. Either one is exceedingly
difficult and neither one is tolerablv safe
This stairway is a precarious footing along
the sides of cash in a rugged mountain
D
With all the danger and fatigue, it is a
laughable sight to see a person-some
other person-make the ascent. One has
to stride over the fissure, one foot on the
right hand side and the other on the left,
and at the same time press the hand alter
nateiy against the rocks for support.
An Indian will throw live sheep around
his neck and go up quite rapidly without
touching either hand to the rocks. An ac-
| cident occurred on the stairway a few gen.
erations ago. Several men started up,
each with a sheep on his back. When
nearly to the top the sheep carried by the
| foremost man became restless, and the
shepherd in trying to hold it fast lost his
footing, and in falling swept his compan-
ions over the precipice, and they all fell
on the rocks at the foot in lifeless heap.
The Indians have carved a representation
Of the accident on rock near where it
occurred, which scarcely serves to steady
the nerves of those who go 10y that route.

Through all the oratorio of history we
hear the voices of women, whom no man

sorrowful notes of the song of Jephthah's
daughter, mingling with the tender voice
of Ruth, standing breast high amid the
summer corn "-tremulous with woman's
fear, but resolute with sublime purpose,
comes the voice of Esther, CARRYING her
life before the golden scepter for her peo-
pies sake; we hear Elizabeth speak with
loud voice and no man can silence her

The pueblo of Acoma, situated ninety
miles west of albuquerque, is one of the
most remarkable communities in New
Mexico or the United States. In the mid

hundred people are living there, and they

Pursuant to call of the city clerk the
annual election will be held in this
place on Monday, Nay 2nd, but as usual
this election presents no special features
of interest which are liable 10 bring out
anything approaching Il full vote Of the
place,
There has been nothing beyond the
call published in the CHRONICLE TO indi
cate the fact of an election being under
contemplation. We have not in a single
instance heard, upon the streets, or else
where the faintest mention of it, and up
to this juncture there has been no an
nouncements from any direction. Office
without emolument is not productive of
enthusiasm, and we can only conclude,
that if the population Of this place is
estimated upon the basis of the number
Of votes polled next Monday, Custer
may be set down as the smallest incor
porated city in the territory.

New School Law.

Concerning this volumnous and COM
plicated law, a co py of which has not
yet been received at this Office. the
Journal says:
"A mong the many complicated laws
passed by the late Dakota legislature
may be mentioned the new sch ool law.
This bill was framed with intention no
doubt of consolidating, or rather crystal
izing the educational system of the ter
ritory, and to put it on footing from
which it may rise to front place among
the excellent free school systems of the
country. The nam feature of the law
is the creation of territorial board Of
education, which shall consist of three
members one of whom shall be the ter
rtorial superintendent, and the other
two, when not sitting as a board Of edu-
cation, shall be considered assistants to
the superintendent. The board shall
have arbitrary control over all public
schools, and shall regulate all matters
pertaining thereto, and there is no pro-
vision for appeal from their decision.
This gives them great power for good or
bad. The duties Of the offices Of county
superintendent and school district di-
rectors under the new law becomes
merely perfunctory What the law
does not prescribe for them the terri
torial board will, The finds of the
school are TO he raised and disbursed in
a manner prescribed by the law or bv
the board, Teachers will come directly
under the regulations of the territorial
board, and in fact the whole educational
machinery will be manipulated and
directed by this trio The first election
under the new law will occur one year
from June next, at which time the coun.
ty superintendent and directors of the
districts are TO be elected by the voters
At these school elections women over
the age of twenty-one having children
ofschool age under control may vote
The accumulation and disbursement of
the school fund, too, is provided for
very elaborately, 1t will be of interest
to all TO famliarize themselves with this
law, and especially those connected with
the schools should do so. It smacks too
strongly Of paternal government to be
very palatable to one of marked demo
cratic proclivities, but it may possibly
prove efhcatious on trial"

coach for the east. They will visit
Omaha and Kansas City on their way.
Judge Luse made competent, conscien-

removal Deadwood will lose a good
citizen. The reporters will always
have cause to think of him in the kind
liest manner as he was at all times
obliging and ever ready to impart all
matters of news of interest or import
ance TO the public. He it was who in
troduced the system of publishing all
rulings, decisions and orders emanating
from the land department, and which
did more to enlighten the people of this
locality relative to the workings Of this
department than all else previously at

newspaper man and has thorough un-

matters. We believe 1t is his intention
to again enter journalism, and we
sincerely hope that he will, as he is too
main on the outside"

"Confessing a fault half amends it" is
accepted as wise saying. We there
fore, for the purpose of making amends,
frankly confess to being at fault in the
matter of ignoring the mention of the

SO creditably presented by the q. A. r.
Dramatic company at Athens Hall on
the 18th inst 1t is especially a matter
of regret, that our memory should have
failed us at time when the exceptional
rendering of this acceptable military
drama deserved most favorable men
ton. The play was nnquestienably the
best yet produced by this popular com
pany who have contributed so much to
Clusters amusement, and the characters,
without exception, were admirably sus-
tanned.
